In the age of safe spaces and trigger warnings comes another new trend to the college repertoire: coloring books. This fall, campuses nationwide are offering coloring books to students to help them de-stress.
At American University on Monday, its counseling center provided coloring sheets in honor of Healthy Campus Week, noting on its Facebook page that adult coloring books “can help with a number of emotional and mental health issues.” Conditions cited include obsessive-compulsive, eating, anxiety and depressive disorders, as well as anger management and substance abuse issues.
“The time and focus that adult coloring takes helps the individual remove the focus from the negative issues and habits, and focus them in a safe and productive way,” the AU center stated.

It’s actually very smart. When college students aren’t stressing over class work, they are usually stressing on their phones or computers or gaming systems.
Coloring is a mindless downtime activity.
Poor wittle snowflakes are stressed. WELCOME TO DA PARTY, PAL! Deal with it!
Stoo-dents can use their experience with coloring books as a prerequisite for earning their degree in tattoo art.
What if someone snuck a drawing of Donald Trump into their coloring books? Would that be a hate crime? School in lockdown? Grief counselors called in?

The original purpose but as usual, perverted. But a proper HIllary coloring books might help. Notice I said proper?
Many educators concluded that all, regardless of background, students stood to benefit from art education as a means of enhancing their conceptual understanding of the tangible, developing their cognitive abilities, and improving skills that would be useful in finding a profession, as well as for the children’s spiritual edification

Political uses[edit]
In 1962, cartoonist Mort Drucker teamed with humorist Paul Laikin in creating the John F. Kennedy Coloring Book, a satirical introduction to Kennedy, his family and administration, told from the point of view of his daughter Caroline. The book sold 2,500,000 copies.[9][10]
In 1968 the Black Panther Coloring Book began circulating in the United States; the book features black men and children killing pigs dressed as police officers. It was argued to have been made not by the Black Panther Party but by the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s COINTELPRO program to discredit the organization, a claim which other sources dispute.[11][12]

I saw something a few years ago about this “adult coloring books” thing. Doesn’t anyone have a room to paint anymore?

Does anyone here remember their first “Big Fat Pencil” and “Big Chief Tablet”, and how proud you were to graduate from coloring books?
[Colleges turn to coloring books to de-stress students]
They used to cast their cares upon the LORD until GOD was kicked out of college.
PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
The school considers this a "productive" activity? Unbelievable. Just wait until the special little snowflakes enter the real world with real production requirements and deadlines. Its going to be quite a shock for them, unless they can get a government "job".
This is a sure sign of many things.
Among them:
1. A good percentage of college students are not even deserving of a 1940 high school degree.
2. A good percentage of lib arts department “professors” are not even deserving of a 1940 high school degree.
3. Virtually 100% of most college admin depts (to include the presidents) are not even deserving of a 1940 high school degree.
See a pattern developing there?
And th disease is progressing...when one cannot hack STEM vigor, one establishes a climate research group.
And the beat goes on.

Pampers melt in a Maytag dryer
Crayons go up one drawer higher
Rewind Barney for the fifteenth time
Breakfast six, naps at nine
